Fixing a Strip Jam on the PowisPrinter
The printer can jam a strip in four places - the feed chute, the hatch, the front door, and the Binder Exit. There are different procedures to clear jams in each of these locations. If you can't tell where the jam has occurred, you may need to check all four places. You will notice the words "carefully", "gently" and "slowly" in these instructions. It is important that you do not use excessive force or go too quickly when removing a jammed strip from your machine. Using too much force can damage sensors and other internal components and may result in the need for a costly repair.

It is always a good idea to inspect each strip before you feed it into your PowisPrinter. Sometimes during the manufacturing, Binderstrip fragments stick to the Binderstrips. These fragments - if inserted into the PowisPrinter - can smear the foil, jam the machine, or even break the foil cartridge. You can avoid such mishaps by inspecting your Binderstrip each time you're about to print. If you notice any scraps or fragments, simply brush them off the strip, then insert the strip as usual.
